I’m a “traveller” versus a “vacationer”

It's not about consent; it's about power differentials and academic ethics. I know the latter has become a bit of a joke lately, but some of us do still care.

THIS! Like doctors, profs should have a fiduciary responsibility to leave their students alone. To do otherwise is sick and gross.

I don't understand why I am still so sad about this. :(

Recently she broke up with me, and we have a baby girl. Under no circumstances did I want our daughter to notice anything but cordiality. So every now and then, I sit down and come up with reasons why it's for the best, how she probably did her very best etc. That makes it somehow more bearable. Even then, I have to…

So did I. I'm a bit older than some, and I remember everything about the original allegations and that whole story. I remember this joke and thinking "OH SHIT."

I remember a woman accusing Cosby like ten years ago, when I was in college. It was a giant, giant deal amongst my dorky little clique who inhale media news, but then it kind of disappeared from mainstream conversation. I've never forgotten, though.

Tina Fey grew up in Upper Darby, PA. Her parents still live there. Upper Darby is a very short drive away from Temple University, where Bill Cosby was on the board until literally yesterday. Andrea Constand, the woman who filed the lawsuit he settled 10 or so years ago, worked at Temple. Makes sense to me that she…

I can't take this video seriously because her eyebrows did not change a bit. And what REALLY differentiates a lot of these decades is the brows. The 20s-30s were all about super thin brows—basically lines. They started filling back in in the 40s and 50s (where that super sexy high arched brow was in). 60s with no…

And the 40s seemed significantly lighter than I would have thought. Though to be fair, not everyone is good at knowing whether they're a spring or autumn tone, and I'm sure plenty of people in the 80s couldn't guess either from throwbacks I've seen.

Quite a few of the decades were a bit off. The 1920s didn't seem to have the crazy eye makeup thing going. The 1960s didn't have the crazy white lip they rocked for a while in the mod period. Some of the lipstick shades seemed off somehow. The eyebrow style made a big difference and that would've been hard to…

you think pet owners should have tens of thousands saved up for their animals' health problems? Really? Gobsmacking. Pets only for the rich, says this person.

Interesting choice. No one remembers that Spike sexually-assaulted Buffy, too.

"This is how you know Outlander really isn't a romance novel—if it were, a powerful man like Dougal (someone more easily able to protect Claire) would be the hero, and this would've been a steamy scene. Instead, he's just another patriarchal pain in her ass and sensitive, comparatively powerless Jamie is the clear…

This is bad advice. This issue exists but don't do it.

I just don't understand the intent. The artist says they chose princesses because that's who the target is attracted to, which means that the target is small children, who-

Yeah, it's pretty much going to be all The Good Wife gifs this week.

I was born in 1983. I consider myself an 80s kid but more of a 90s generation due to being born so early in the 80s. Basically I've alwasy considered it broken down based on your demographic, when born in the early 80s the only thigns that mattered were the toys, cartoons and child items marketed towards you. But…

Like all of Facebook's previous UI changes, I will hate it for a week and then stop caring since I spend, at most, 10 min per day on Facebook.
